Frequently asked
What's the model's edge on Mike Davis @ Nurullo Aliev?
The Lakeshore Edge model rates Mike Davis at 33% to win or cover, versus FanDuel's implied 35% — a marginal edge of +0.5pt. That gap is what the model flags as a potential bet. The model has averaged +4.1pt CLV across 737 graded singles, meaning prices it picks tend to drift in the bettor's favor before close.
How likely is Mike Davis to win according to the model?
33% by the Lakeshore Edge model. Pinnacle, the industry's sharpest book at ~2% vig, has them at 35.0%; Polymarket's real-money traders price the same outcome at 32.5%. The model blends Elo, recent form, sport-specific factors (pitching, injuries, weather), and live line movement to land on that number.
What's closing-line value (CLV) and why does it matter?
Closing-line value is how much your entry price beats the market's closing price on the same bet. If you pick a side at FanDuel -130 and the line closes at -150, the line moved 4pp toward your side after you locked in — that's positive CLV. CLV is the leading indicator of long-run profit because it's the metric that survives variance: a sustained positive CLV means you're consistently getting a better price than the consensus market settles on. Lakeshore Edge averages +4.1pt CLV on 737 graded singles, beating the close on 91% of them.
